Dresses for Mom?

a-c-d

My Mom is coming in town this weekend for my shower and wants to go shopping for her wedding outfit. She lives in a small town in Mississippi and doesn't have great option.

Can y'all recommend some places? We have limited time.

Thanks!

We looked at Davids Bridal just because we happened to be there.  While they do have some nice things, they are pretty expensive and have a no return policy.  We also shopped at Macys and Dillards and my Mom bought a dress at each of those stores too.  Now she has three . . . guess it will be fun to see which one she decides to wear

I second Dillards or Macy's. If you want to go fancy/ more expensive head to Nordstrom (Barton Creek Mall) or Neiman Marcus (Is that the one buy the Arboretum?). I think the Arboretum has a couple of small shops for moms but it's been a while so they may not be around anymore.

My mom found hers at Belle Saison, the same place where I got my wedding dress. (I think they should pay me for how many things we've bought there and how I've mentioned it more than once on this board!) They had a small selection but she was able to find something she liked that was flattering in a color that she wanted. The price may have been a bit more than what she wanted to pay, but I thought the dress was great and she definitely loves it. 

We looked at Dillard's, Macy's, Nordstrom, and Neiman's but couldn't find a good dress that didn't make her look old. Just FYI, I don't believe there are any more shops for dresses at the Arboretum - St. Thomas used to be there but moved over to the Domain which is where Neiman's is, too. However, St. Thomas is really pricey.
